A law firm Q&A explains the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), which requires operators to prove that covered products come from deforestation-free supply chains through due diligence statements. It covers cattle, wood, cocoa, soy, palm oil, coffee and rubber, with no volume or value threshold.
Application dates are 30 December 2026 for large and medium operators and 30 June 2027 for micro and small operators.
Compliance costs and traceability requirements for soy and palm oil shipments into the EU could add friction to those trade flows. The effect on prices is likely to be limited for now because the rules are a general explainer rather than a new change.
